S'MORES SHOTS

❋ Makes 24–30 shots

Ingredients

28-ounce (793 g) bag large marshmallows

1 cup (240 mL) water

1 tablespoon (28 g) hot chocolate mix

2 x ¼-ounce (7 g) packet Knox gelatin

1 cup (240 mL) chocolate-flavored vodka

1 cup (130 g) baking chocolate or 1 cup

(175 g) chocolate chips, melted

1 cup (84 g) crushed graham crackers

Instructions

1. Use a melon baller to hollow out or clean fingers to pinch out the centers of the marshmallows. Let marshmallows sit out for 1–2 hours to harden.

2. Add water and hot chocolate mix to a medium saucepan and whisk until combined. Sprinkle in gelatin and let it sit for 1 minute, letting the gelatin activate. Place saucepan over medium heat, whisking until gelatin dissolves. Bring to a light simmer, then remove from heat. Add the vodka.

3. This step is really important. Let the mixture cool. It should be at least room temperature before you pour it into the marshmallows—if it's hot, it will melt the marshmallow and it won't work.

4. Pour mixture into a spouted bowl or measuring cup, then carefully pour it into the hardened, hollowed-out marshmallows. Save any leftover mixture in case you need to top off shots as they set. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.

5. Refrigerate until serving. To serve, dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate, then roll the marshmallows in crushed graham crackers.
